Moroccan Rice
A spiced rice dish, lovely for supper
moroccan rice
- dessertspoon garam masala
- tsp garlic powder
- 160 g onion
- 150 g frozen sweetcorn
- 150 g peas
- 20 g tomato puree
- 320 g carrots
- 100 g raisins
- 350 g rice
- tsp mustard
- 20 ml veg oil
- 150 g chick peas, soaked and cooked as per packet instructions
- tsp chilli
Cook the rice. Whilst it is cooking, prepare your vegetables: chop carrots into little dice, cut onions into tiny slivers, as small as your knife will allow.
Then mix all the other ingredients together in a salad bowl and toss well. You will find that the addition of the frozen veggies will cool the rice down a lot. If you want the salad to be super cold, rinse your rice in cold water after cooking it, but before adding all the other ingredients.
The salt value excludes any you have added yourself, as each family's tastes will differ
